Although Cao Hao was still full of confidence in doing something for the country and the people, the next time he got up from the bed in the middle of the night, Cao Hao looked forward to his early arrival.

Since the holy car is stationed in the Old Summer Palace, when there is a small court meeting, Cao Hao has to get up in the middle of the night, and rush Chouzheng (two o'clock in the morning) out of the city from Xizhi Gate, so he has to get up at midnight.

Since he entered the court as an official, this big dynasty and small dynasty have also come down for many years.

In his early years, he was young and energetic, and he didn't feel anything; Now get up in the middle of the night, and during the day, you will be half out of energy, and when you are almost adjusted, it will be time for the court meeting, and the cycle will start again and again, making people feel physically and mentally tired.

Cao Hao yawned, closed his eyes, and let his wife help him sort out his clothes.

Seeing her husband like this, Chu Yu was a little distressed, and hesitated for a moment and said, "In the future, Xiao Chao will go forward, and the master will go to live outside the city...... Our home is also close to the Imperial Garden, and we can rest for two more hours. God bless too, when he catches up with the errand in front of the emperor, he will go home if he wants to go home, if he is tired and does not like to toss back and forth, let him be placed in the garden? ”

Cao Hao listened to it and was a little moved.

He is now the head of the book, and he is on duty once every three times, which is really a bit of a boil.

Judging from Yongzheng's itinerary in the past few years, most of the year has been stationed in the Old Summer Palace.

In previous years, my family also moved to Haidian Garden to escape the summer, so I didn't need to get up early. This year, there are many things to move, children and relatives, and Chu Yu, the head of the house, needs to be in charge.

It's just that I went to the garden to rest in advance, and I didn't have to get up in the middle of the night; The son is young and vigorous, but he can't get into the habit of not returning home at night.

Cao Hao himself had been in the guards, and he knew who the guards were.

They are all noble children, and they can't be said to eat, drink, and gamble, but they are also mostly playful and tossed.

God bless is steady, age is here, if you are really hooked up and contaminated with vices, wouldn't it be too late to regret it.

Therefore, Cao Hao still waved his hand and said, "Let's wait and talk." On the boss's side, everyone else has survived like this, don't be too pampered. ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he said with a smile: "This year's major events are almost done, and I will be able to have a free ...... next year."

"Where can I be idle next year, isn't it a matter of a girl......" Mentioning this, Cao Hao put away his smile and couldn't be happy.

He originally planned to leave Tianhui until he was eighteen years old, but Shu Hede's age was there.

Although the old lady of the Tatara clan didn't say anything in front of Chu Yu, she also said in front of Cao Yi that she wanted her grandson to marry as soon as possible.

In this world, a woman can marry at fourteen. In the eyes of outsiders, Tianhui will be sixteen years old next year, which is really not an early marriage.

He only thought that his daughter was a steady and sensible person, and he didn't like a hairy boy of the same age, so he liked Shu Hede, who was a few years older.

Schuhd is nineteen this year, and he will be twenty next year, and his marriage is already considered a late marriage.

If his parents are complete, Cao Hao is cheeky, and he will postpone the family affair for two years; But the old man and his wife are both old and old, and they are still waiting for the eldest grandson to get married and spread out.

The Cao family not only wants to get married, but also delays the marriage, which is not authentic.

When the Li family returns to Beijing, the two families will officially discuss their relationship. Tianhui's wedding date, even if it is postponed late, it will be good if it can be postponed to the end of next year.

At that time, Tianhui was only sixteen years old.

In Cao Hao's heart, he already faintly regretted it...... Chu Yu knew that her husband was upset about his daughter's affairs again, so he hurriedly said: "I know that my lord has no appetite at this time, but he has to suffer for most of the day, so he still has to eat more...... Yesterday, Changping Zhuangzi sent some wild vegetables over, and this morning there were capsule, wontons, and cold bitter hemp cabbage...... "After that, he spread the word to set the meal."

The food box was ready, and in a moment, the maids had already set the table.

Cao Hao originally had no appetite, but when he saw a large bowl of fragrant wontons, he also had an appetite, and he ate it without any leftovers, and ate two more honeysuckle rolls.

After eating breakfast well and drinking a cup of strong tea, Cao Hao also added energy.

From the city to the Old Summer Palace, the carriage of more than an hour is not difficult.

It has been more than half a month since the beginning of summer, and the weather is still a little cold in the morning and evening.

When the carriage arrived outside the Old Summer Palace, it was already dark.

On the left side of the palace where Yongzheng deals with political affairs is the class room, and Cao Hao and other people from the small dynasty do not have to wait outside the garden, but are led by the inner servants to wait here.

The household department is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and Yongzheng is a pragmatic emperor, so every time it is the turn of the household department to be on duty, the time for the court discussion will not be short, and today is no exception.

When everyone was led to the front of the emperor, first a sum of silver from Shaanxi and Gansu, which should have been reduced to the state and county, but before the relief decree went down, the original amount had been collected.

Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, made a fold, mentioning that the silver would be reduced and reduced immediately, and it should be returned according to the household, but the households were scattered and difficult to distribute.

Although this sum of silver is less than seven thousand taels, there is no precedent after all.

How to deal with the household, you have to ask for advice.

is a small dynasty, but it is just a scholar and a squire on duty, as well as two scholars, a few princes, who is not a human spirit?

Yue Zhongqi, as the governor of the three provinces, solemnly handed over the fold and made a special trip to mention this matter, so he naturally had other intentions.

If the emperor approves this silver to be used for military salaries, then I believe that it will not be long before there will be local money and food for all kinds of purposes.

Being a superintendent outside, you are at ease, but you don't have to be with the emperor often, in addition to having eyes and ears in the capital, sometimes you have to find out the emperor's joy and anger from the fold.

If the emperor is not sure, is the army going to move, or is it not moving?

If you are another governor, Xu will not pay too much attention to the war, but Yue Zhongqi is from a military background, and he has three provinces under his jurisdiction and border provinces...... Yongzheng ordered that since the silver taels were lost by the people of Shaanxi, they should be returned to Shaanxi and used for things beneficial to the people's livelihood such as water conservancy granaries, and there was no need to charge them into military salaries.

Cao Hao stood in the queue, listening to Yongzheng's dictation, and couldn't help but be convinced.

Although among the scholars, Yongzheng had a bad reputation; But as an emperor, his several new policies have indeed reduced the burden on the people.

His disposal of the more than 6,000 taels of silver is in line with the way of "taking from the people and returning it to the people".

As a witness of history, Cao Hao can say with certainty that without Yongzheng's hard work for more than ten years, there would be no "prosperous era of Kangqian".

If Yongzheng lived longer, what would history be...... After talking about the silver in Shaanxi, Yongzheng asked about the local granary again.

The local government warehouse stores rice and grain in case of drought and flood relief, which is related to the lives of the people, and should not be neglected at all. Not only did the household department send people to inspect every year, but the granaries also had to be directly linked to the local chiefs.

If there is something wrong with the granary, the local magistrate is directly responsible; If the granary is moldy and there is a shortage of rice and grain, it must also be ordered to be repaired.

In the end, Yong's face was solemn and said: "The compensation is not paid within the limited year, and the crime will be punished according to the rules, and we will never slack off!" ”

Everyone knows that the emperor attaches great importance to the official warehouse, and he has to ask once or twice a year, but this year he asked extra diligently.

In April alone, this is the third time.

Well-informed, he knows what the emperor is worried about; If the news is backward, it is inevitable to speculate whether there is something unstable in the official warehouse, and the emperor is knocking on a few officials in the household department.

Cao Hao's heart also sank.

It seems that the water situation in the south is really worrying, which makes Yongzheng so worried...... The military affairs in the northwest, the water situation in the south, the deficit in Shanxi, and the private salt in the south of the Yangtze River...... Each of them is a major event of people's livelihood, and all of them are related to the household department.

Therefore, this small pilgrimage was postponed until the afternoon, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that all matters were agreed.

Except for Yongzheng on the dragon chair, the thirteen elder brothers on the square bench, and the other princes and ministers are all standing on duty.

is Cao Hao, who is in the prime of life, and after standing all morning, he feels that his legs and stomach are heavy and his waist is stiff; Not to mention a few elderly adults, all of them are pale, gritting their teeth and stiff, and it is no longer convenient to walk.

I don't know if Yongzheng is sympathetic or rewarding at will, anyway, he made people pass on the oracle and give the princes and ministers on duty meals.

Since it is a meal, no matter how many dishes there are, the courtiers must be grateful to Dade.

After all kinds of etiquette, most of the hours passed.

Everyone went out of the garden after the meal.

After getting into the carriage, Cao Hao took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already the second quarter of the first day of Shen Chu (half past three in the afternoon).

Calculate the time from the Old Summer Palace to the city, and you don't need to go to the yamen.

Cao Hao opened the curtain and instructed Zhang Yi to go back to the city first and go to the government office to inform Jiang Jian. In this case, if there is an important official document in the yamen, Jiang Jian can take it back to the house.

After finishing the order, Cao Hao lowered the curtain and closed his eyes.

Although the big deficit in Shanxi officialdom is a big hole left by Yiduli's predecessor and predecessor, and he does not do anything with Yiduli, when Yiduli was in Shanxi, it also had something to do with the consumption of money.

Last year, he had written an excerpt about returning the money consumed by the fire.

His starting point is not difficult to understand, last year's movement in the northwest came out, everyone knows that it will not be peaceful for a few years.

Yiduli took the initiative to sacrifice fire and consume silver, which also means to meet the wishes.

But what Yongzheng can't bear the most is that the officials exploit the people.

Yi Duli himself is not greedy, but he has the heart to use the fire and silver collected by the people of Shanxi to pay the army, which can be regarded as relieving the emperor's worries.

But Yongzheng didn't see it that way, but instead took Yiduli as a typical example and reprimanded this matter, which was nothing more than the officials who regarded the fire money that should have been returned to the people as their own land, and arbitrarily encroached on it.

If Yi Duli is still in office in Shanxi, the matter of the small dynasty today is just a few shocks to him; Now that Yiduli is in Beijing, the emperor still reprimands the official in charge so unceremoniously, which makes people panic.

Cao Haocai didn't believe that Yongzheng was just casually reprimanding and beating Yi Duli.

Ituli is not on duty today.

Among the princes and ministers present, there were two and thirteen elder brothers who were close to Yiduli and themselves.

The emperor is fighting cattle across the mountain? Which cow is it?

He rubbed his brow and told himself not to think too much.

His friendship with Yi Duli can only be regarded as a personal relationship, and there will be no taboos if he is not a party or a group.

That being said, he was a little uneasy at all.

Yes, the identities of himself and Yi Duli are not the past, both of them are in charge of Jingtang, in their opinion, they are personal friends who are not involved in official business; In the eyes of others, is there a suspicion of the party and the masses......
